Alexandar,

Did you get a sense of what that 20 hours was spent on exactly? The reason
I ask is that I run several mailing lists and it takes about 5 minutes to
set one up, so there must be a lot more to what the Secretariat is doing
in setting up a list.

Perhaps Elisabeth could let us know?

Thanks.
